It must be much pleasanter to pilot t war balloon before hostilities begin than afterward. Now the price of liberty Is quoted at the market rate of a sufficient su)>- ply of Dreadnoughts. London complains of a shortage of doctors. The diploma mills must be more exacting over there. A wise man will enjoy every p teas- ant day to the fullest extent, fot he never knows what is coming. The taxicab is after all an automo­ bile, and it does not hesitate to run over the innocent pedestrian. An English peeress has written a cookery book. Perhaps the reac­ tion from the suffragette craze is coming. The treasury department, it is said, is about to have-new designs prepared for the nickel five-cent pieces and the more or less coppery one-cent coins. If possible the designs should be drawn so as not to resemble in any degree the designs on the new flvt#- dollar gold pieces. Each succeeding generation is bet­ ter than the last. That is why we do not burn witches nor own slaves. And we do many things which our children's children will think criminal and silly. Our youngsters have every indication of living in a better time than we have seen. If the Chicago police have cap­ tured the leader of the Black Hand in that city, they have done an excellent work. It is said that this man has given information concerning his fel­ lows. He was arrested In the act of taking money from an Italian pl"ysi- cian, who had been threatened by the gang. A looker-on in Venice--Illinois, not Italy--might well be surprised that the recent spanking of three boys in that peaceful village should be so elaborately treated by the metropoli­ tan press.. Time was when this was an almost daily observance in every home in the land that boasted young barbarians at play. "The old order changeth." A railroad posts in Its suburban cars warnings against "disembarking from the cars in the terminal yards." This, as the Frenchman observed, is most well; but might it not be worth while to join with it an admonition to the careless suburbanite to cease disembarking on the port side of the trains at stations where the platform lies to starboard? Spokane, Wash.--Determined to run down the six bandits who on Sunday morning held up, robbed and wrecked passenger train No. 3 of $20,000, the Great Northern Railroad Company has a score of the best detectives in the northeast on the trail.' The Great Northern has offered a reward of $10,000 for each robber captured. In the holdup which occurred be­ tween Colbert and Mead 14 persons were injured when the engine and mail car, running wild down the track by the bandits after they had rifled the malls, collided with the remain­ ing cars of the train. The bandits de tached the engine and mail car from the train, ran them down the track a considerable distance and then after the registered mail had been opened they sent the engine back to collide with the cars standing on the track. The conductor saw the wild cars coming down the track at a rate of 25 miles an hour when they were a considerable distance awtiy and he and one of the trainmen placed a tie on the track in an effort to stop their wild Sight. The engine and car were partly stopped by this means, but plunged into the coaches. There was a loud crash and the passengers were thrown from their seats, most of the injured being hurt by glass from the broken windows. When the train reached Colbert some switching had to be done. While the engine crew was busy at this work, two men suddenly appeared on the engine cab and thrusting a re­ volver against the body of Engineer WHliam Miller, ordered him to do as commanded. The engineer and fire­ man, John Hall, obeyed. The car was coupled on to the train and pulled out. After the train had proceeded a few miles the engineer was ordered to stop and he and his fireman were forced to leave the cab. Two of the robbers then went to the door of the mail car and ordered it opened. Their command was obeyed by Benjamin F. Stumpf, the mail clerk. Meanwhile two other bandits were with the engineer and fireman, who were uncoupling the mail car and the locomotive. Soon after the train stopped the conductor, C. L. Robert­ son, jumped from the car but was driven back by a dozen revolver shots. Hastily climbing into the cab, the out­ laws sent the engine hurrying down the track. This is the second holdup in this vicinity of Hillyard, a Spokane suburb in the last month. Bandits in the first case are still at large. HAIR "RAT" SAVES TWO. The coast artillery companies at Fort Washington. Md., claim the world's record in mortar firing, having hit a target moving at the rate of five miles an hour six times in ten shots at a distance of from 4,000 to 6,000 yards, and the ten shots were fired in less than 6y2 minutes. With marks­ manship reduced to an exact science the leviathan battleships will have to be wary. An American company is to be formed to capitalize an expedition to search in the ocean for the hidden treasures of Capt. Kidd. As a hider that piratical gentleman is still hold­ ing the record. He would be worth his weight in his own gold at this day, when other hidden treasures are be­ ing dragged to light by probes, inves­ tigations and other forms of "trast- busting." How culpably ignorant of the early history of our country the children are being kept is freshly illustrated by some examination papers filed at a re­ cent college examination, in which it was stated that Gen. Grant and Ad­ miral Farragut commanded in the British army and navy during tb« rev­ olution. Apparently good worl wil* be found for every post in detailing comrades to inspect the duties of the children in the schools. Mother and Baby -Escape Death In Auto Accident When Padding Acts as Buffer. Jackson, Mich.--A large "rat" in her hair saved the life of Mrs. Richard Frost, in an automobile accident Thursday, her physicians say. Mrs. Frost and her baby were both thrown from the machine when It collided with a telepaone pole and Mrs. Frost struck on her head with such torce that hair pins were driven into her scalp. At the hospital the surgeons who attended her said the "rat" saved her bead being crushed. The baby was injured about the head, and it is feared both mother and child were also in­ ternally injured. Richard Frost, the husband and fa­ ther, was driving the automobile when the accident happened. The New York taxicabs having be­ come established the Inevitable result follows that their proprietors are feel­ ing around for the highest charges that the traffle will bear. This is so usual as to create little surprise; but the public would like for once to seo how It seems to encounter a public service novelty that is conducted on the effete notion of discovering the lowest prices that will yield bigger profits by multiplying the traffic. Taxicabs have increased their rates in New York, but the old reliable crossiown horse cars still Jolt along for a nickel. Children See Three Drown. Pittsburg, Pa.--To save five ' cents' bridge toll, five foreigners, who had been out of work for many months, attempted to cross the Monongahela river at McKeesport, a suburb, ia a small boat, which sank as they got into midstream, drowning three of men. Five hundred school-children enjoying their first day's diversion in a n«w playground, saw them drown, Ten bodies had been recovered when the search was abandoned at dark Wednesday night for the victims •f Tuesday night's ferryboat accident. Earthquakes in Canada. Winnipeg, Man. -- Reports con­ tinue to come in of the earthquake in Western Canada. The tremor was not so severe here as in Saskatchewan province where goods were shaken from store shelves and the shock was more abrupt. At Regina patients in the hospital were shaken out of bed, and people rushed in terror from hotels and big buildings. Italy has got the Dreadnoughtitis too! A bill has been introduced In the chamber of deputies calling foi two 20,000-ton battleships. When they get two they will feel lonesome with out four and with four it will be abso­ lutely necessary to have six. And so the dreadful complaint coutinutes to grow and fastens its insatiable money- sucking tentacles upon the nation. Drowned When Rowboat Sinks. Elkhart, Ind.--Lyman Hopkins of Anderson, Ind., aged 20 years, drowned in St. Joseph river. His companion, James Littens, was rescued in an ex­ hausted condition. The boat filled and sank after the oar locks broke during a heavy wind. UAH*# States Has $1,613,000,OOtV OWP- many Being Next with $1,044,000,000. I Washington. -- A preliminary sum­ marization of a , series of tablet bearing on the production of gold pr®> pared by the bureau of statistics has been made public. According to the figures presented the world's stock erf gold has increased about one-half in the last decade and doubled in the last quarter of a century. The stock of gold money has mean­ time grown in even greater propor­ tions, being practically 75 per ceq£. more than a decade ago. The tables show the gold production of the world since the discovery of America and the amount of gold money in th§ world, country by coun­ try. "The gold production from the discovery of America to the present time," it is stated, "aggregates $13,000,- 000,000, and the amount of gold now in existence is estimated by experts at $11,000,000,000 value, while the value of the gold fcoin in all the countries of the world from which statistics are available now aggregates $7,000,000,- 000." According to the tables a very rapid increase in gold production in recent years is shown. "As the result of this rapid growth," it is stated further, "the gold output ol^the world's mines during the ten years ending with 1908, aggregated according to the figures in question, $3,400,000,000; while the product of the immediately-preceding 15 years aggregated 2,400,000,000; making a total of nearly $6,000,000,000 worth of gold produced in the last 25 years out of a total production of $13,- 000,000.000 since the discovery of America." Meantime, however, it la stated, although gold is more carefully conserved than any other article of man's production, some portions of the $13,000,000,000 have disappeared, and the best estimates put the total world's supply of this metal at the present time at about $11,000,000,000. of which one-third is the product of the last ten years, one-half the product of the last 25 years, and three-fourths the product of the last 60 years. The summary adds that "consider­ ing its distribution by countries, the United States has a greater supply of gold money than any other county, the figures being according to this table: United States, $1,613,000,000; Germany, $1,044,000,000; France, $926,- 000,000; Russia, $917,000,000; United Kingdom, $565,000,000; Austria-Hun­ gary, $303,000,000; Italy, $258,000,000; Australia, $158,000,000; Egypt, $140,- 000,000; Argentine, $140,000,000; Tur­ key, $132,000,000; India, $113,000,000; Japan, $96,000,000; Canada, $66,000,- 000, and Brazil, $51,000,000.

TWENTY BLOWN TO ATOMS Half Ton of Dynamite Explodes In New York State with Fatal Results. Albany, N. Y.--The explosion of half a ton of dynamite in the stone quarry of the Callanan Road Improve­ ment Company at South Bethlehem, near Albany, Wednesday, blew to atoms the bodies of 20 workmen. One thousand pounds of dynamite exploded, and the bodies of the vic­ tims were hurled hundreds of feet by the concussion and so badly mutilated as to be almost beyond recognition. As darkness was falling a wagon drew up to the engine house loaded with bodies that had been picked up back on the quarry hill. A crowd of grief-stricken relatives gathered around eager to identify the dead, only to turn away at the sickening sight. Kansas City, Mo. -- A series of tornadoes in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma Friday evening killed at least five, injured 55, devastated one town, wrecked a train and did great damage to property. Twenty-five were injured by a storm that swept over Mount Washington and Fairmount Park, suburbs of Kan­ sas City. At least two of these are thought to be fatally injured and others seriously. The town of Hollis, Kan., near Con­ cordia, was swept away. Here three were killed and ten seriously injured. The dead are Fred Jeardoe, John Cyre and George Eckert. The Eckstrom family, consisting of five persons, is mising. Their house is laid in ruins and it is thought they are dead. Near Great Bend a tornado killed two and injured 20. All wires 'are down in that vicinity and it is feared that the death list may be greater. William Ackerly, a Santa Fe en­ gineer, was killed while working with a bridge gang between Great Bend and Kinsley. Frank Nicholson, a con­ ductor, was also killed. The tornado wrecked the work train of which Ack­ erly was engineer and blew it into a ditch. The storm spread over a wide area, however, laid waste many farm houses and injured many whose names could not be obtained. On account of a great portion of the damage done on farms its full extent could not be learned. Many conflicting reports have been received. One had ten killed. At Hoisington, Kan,, a tornado in­ jured and greatly damaged farm prop­ erty. It was not so severe, however, as that passing over other portions of the state. Wabash passenger train No. 9 ran through a bridge that had been weak? ened by a flood into Bull creek, near Randolph. The engine, baggage and mail cars fell into the water.

It is their plan that on May 1 the clock shall be put ahead two hours all over the continent, so that what has been 5 a. m. shall be 7 a. m. The quitting time of the work day will be pushed up two hours also, so that the workers, after the day's task is fin­ ished, shall have two hours more of daylight. Commander E. W.

Louis and Milwaukee--Wal^ „ , Street Not Surprised 'r'ifl ' by Trouble. : i Nfcw York.--In the appointment of a receiver for Tracy & Co., members of the New York stock exchange and the Chicago board of trade, Monday Wall street had a million-dollar fail­ ure with an interesting variation from the usual. Taxicabs, not stock m&nip- ulatlon or market conditions, are said to be indirectly responsible for the firm's troubles. While no announcement as to the exact cause of the failure has been made, E. A. Benedict, the receiver, said he understood that money lost in backing a local taxicab concern fig­ ured in the outside ventures. The firm has no stock exchange obligations. The total liabilities are estimated at $1,000',000; the assets at half that amodnt. Both these sums, however, are approximated. News of the firm's failure came out with the filing of an Involuntary peti­ tion in bankruptcy in the United States district court, -but as it was rather late in the day no official notice was received at the stock exchange. There were but three petitioning creditors and their claims as stated are quite inconsiderable. They are Henry F. Woodward, $3,500; . William G. Austin, $100, apd William A. Scott, $307. The firm of Tracy & Co. was or­ ganized in 1905. It consists of Wil­ liam W. Tracy, R. D. Covington and Frederick W. Parker. Mr. Parker was the board member. Messrs. Tracy and Covington were in, conference with the receiver, but they declined to make any statement. Mr. Parker has been abroad for several months. Among stock exchange houses with Chicago connections, the embarrass­ ment of the firm caused little sur­ prise. The situation is regarded by friends of Mr. Tracy as a result, at least in part, of proposed taxicab leg­ islation pending before the local board of aldermen. When a hearing was held with regard to proposed legisla­ tion some weeks ago, an attorney for taxicab interests announced to the committeemen of the board who were considering the matter, that any re­ duction in the rate of fare might mean bankruptcy for some persons in­ terested. But the proposed bill was reported, though further considera­ tion of it was postponed. Besides the main New York office in Wall street, the firm maintained local branches in West. Thirty-third street and at the Hotel Gotham. It had other offices in Chicago, in St. Louis, in Louisville, Ky.; Milwaukee and New Haven, Conn.
